Chefkitchen Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Hey everyone. I am at the park right now. Now I could be crazy, but, I could of swore I saw something hiding behind the trees behind the grizzly turn around. Looks red and possibly some yellow coaster track? Has anyone else noticed this while riding Grizzly?
CPFanBoy Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 ^maybe its the "2013 recordbreaker" mentioned on their website
Chefkitchen Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Yea, I saw that on the website this morning so I have been looking around all day for clues. Rode wind seeker after grizzly to see if I could see anything else but whatever it is they have it well hidden against the tress. I sware I saw some red coaster track back there, but don't mark my word! Next time someone rides grizzly take a look for yourself. Once you hit the turn around after the first drop look to the right behind the trees.
Skycoastin Steve Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Yes, it's the old track and supports from the first turn of 305. Have you guys really not noticed that before? It's been there since opening day last year.
Chefkitchen Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Roger that! Sorry guys, I only get to go to KD once a year when I am down here on vacation from Boston visiting my family. That is why I never saw it before.
Intimidator305 Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Halloween Haunt XII news!  The new maze inside the left side of the Action Theater will be called "The Inn at Darkside Manor: No Vacancy". There will be a new scare zone in the Congo replacing "The Ruins" called "Primevil: The Kuru Curse". There will be a new scare zone in the Grove replacing "CarnEvil" called "Cleaver Brothers Carnival".  tiny.cc/KDTVHauntPreview  I really like these changes and the new scare zones will fit in their areas of the park very well. The new hotel themed maze also makes sense in that location considering it is on International Street with a travel theme to it.  In case you all forgot, the blueprints for "The Inn at Darkside Manor: No Vacancy" were released a few weeks back... here they are again!
mhuffva Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 After watching the 2012 Haunt preview video, Kings Dominion certainly has taken things up a notch or two with this Halloween event. It appears they are going all out with the props for the new maze and the 2 new scare-zones. Hopefully, there will be another Haunt preview video before it starts the last weekend in September. I think KD shot the current video at the beginning of August. Â I also saw last years haunt preview video (2011) and they stated the Iron Works (steam-punk) scare-zone was to include new props for 2012. I thought KD said it was adding overhead girders/steam pipes to connect the central "Generator" with the light fixtures and scene shadow boxes for 2012. Â In honor of Chuck, they are adding 40 new fog machines throughout the park. I thought I heard Chuck mumbling about buying a personal radar to use to navigate around the park this fall.
cfc Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 ^"Personal radar" and night vivison goggles. I have nothing against plenty of fog at Halloween events, but KD can go a bit overboard (but in a good way).
Intimidator305 Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 It wouldn't be Haunt at Kings Dominion if you were able to see more than 8 inches in front of you! Love the fog!
Hugecoltsfan Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I fell over a trash can last year because of the fog.
UrbanLegend Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 I fell over a trash can last year because of the fog. Â
Rastuso Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 One year Universal gave one person per group a hardhat with a light on it in the Pseidon attraction. We had to walk through the water tunnel, and I hit a short wall with my shin quite hard. I can't believe how dangerous it, which is why said attraction didn't return, I'm sure. Â -RO
cfc Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) Speaking of fog at Haunt . . . From 2011. From 2009. Edited August 27, 2012 by cfc
gforce1994 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 What is coming? Here is the enlarged and enhanced photo!
SharkTums Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Rocket in Space = Planet Snoopy  I wouldn't get too excited just yet.
Stitch_101 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Rocket in Space = Planet Snoopy I wouldn't get too excited just yet.  I dunno, I'd be excited for an addition/expansion to their Planet Snoopy area. The kiddies need some coaster(or ride) love too. Edited August 28, 2012 by Stitch_101
SharkTums Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 ^Oh, I totally agree! Especially when you go to the other Ex-Paramount kids areas you realize that it's time for Dominion's to get some love. I was more implying that I don't think the typical coaster enthusiasts on this board should get too excited. Â I personally love the idea!
Coaster_Fanatic Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Rocket in Space = Planet Snoopy I wouldn't get too excited just yet.  This is honestly what I would love to happen. I love KD to death, but the kids area is a little too dated and...trashy, to me.
texcoaster Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Something in Planet Snoopy is going to "break records"? Â Maybe a ball pit with old LPs and 45s for the kids to smash?
